Fall 2025 Move In Overview

We are thrilled to extend a warm welcome to all of you as we eagerly anticipate your arrival on campus this fall. Our dedicated staff has been working diligently to ensure a smooth and successful move-in process for everyone. In preparation for this exciting event, we have compiled important information and valuable tips to help you make the most of your move-in experience. To maintain a safe and efficient transition, we kindly ask for your cooperation in following the guidelines outlined below:

  • Pack Essentials
    • We recommend packing only the items you truly need for your initial move-in, as you will have an opportunity to bring additional belongings over Labor Day weekend if desired.
  • Label Your Belongings
    • It is crucial to label all boxes, totes, and tubs with your name and room number. This will assist our staff in ensuring your belongings are properly delivered to your designated residence hall.
  • Restrictions on Trailers and U-Hauls
    • Please note that trailers or U-Hauls are not permitted as the parking lots at the residence halls are unable to accommodate them.
  • No Pets Allowed
    • In the case of an ESA, please reference our policy to ensure you are prepared. To maintain a comfortable living environment for all residents, pets are not allowed in the residence halls during move-in. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to this policy.
  • What to Bring Checklist
    • We highly recommend reviewing the comprehensive "What to Bring" checklist, which provides guidance on essential items for your stay.
  • Utilize the Campus Map
    • Familiarize yourself with the campus map to locate your assigned residence hall and identify the University Center, which serves as the initial stop for all students during scheduled move-in hours. This link will take you to other relevant maps you may want to also understand.
  • Check-In Process:
    • At the University Center, you will complete the check-in process and receive your room keys. It is essential to follow the assigned timeslot for check-in, which you can select through the Housing Portal. For detailed instructions on selecting a timeslot, please refer to the timeslot guide available. 
    • If you have any outstanding business to take care of such as picking up a OneCard, you will need to go into the University Center. Those with no outstanding business should use our Drive-Thru (located in the University Center parking lot) to pick up their room keys and car hang
